RADAR tilt

Captain Jeeves' brief description of how to use the RADAR is EXACTLY how the Airbus SOP describes. Further, and it's been a long time ago...so my memory is a bit faded, that's how Bendix and Collins explain it, too.

My advice to those working for an airline: FOLLOW YOUR AIRLINE'S SOP!!!!

To those who use RADAR in a non-airline structure, READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!!!

Whatever you do, please do not learn how to use an airborne weather RADAR system by listening to your mates' 'techniques' as discussed in the local pub. At some point, sooner or later, the rattlesnake will bite your arse!
